A Strike of Printers.

MILWAUKEE, March 1.--At 1 O'Clock
this afternoon the compositors on all the
newspaper and job offices in the city went
out on a strike for an advance of cents
in the price of composition. The propri-
etorS offered to compromise, but the offer
was refused by the Typographical union.
The scale demanded is SO cents for day and
43 cents for night work. The job scale was
fixed at SIC per week.
The strike of the printers which took
place here to-day is the largest that ever oc-
cured in this city. 1t includes all the COM
positors employed on the three English
daily papers and all those in the job Offices,
with one exception. About 200 printers
are out. The newspaper publishers have
signed an agreement pledging themselves to
stand by each other and by the new men
they employ. They have made arrangements
for new force OF men with the Printers
Protective fraternity, and expect to have
an adequate number before the close of the
week. That organization admits to men,
bershp all non-union men employed in
offices. The result of the strike will prob
ably be to break up for the present the
typographical union here, which for years
past has controlled most Of the printing
establishments in the city,

morning, and they felt equal to the task Of
walking back again, distance OF five miles.
1t was bitter cold day, and as they ad-
vanced the wind began to blow. Before
half of their journey had been accomplished
they were wrapped in binding snow
storm, and their progress became slow and
difficult. Soon Mr.. Hass sank down in the
snow completely exhausted and unable to
proceed. His now frantic wife tried in
vain to urge him on, but she was COM
PEELED to leave him and seek aid at
the nearest house. When she arrived
at the house she sought she found woman
alone. 1t was now about 10 o'clock at
night. but taking blankets the two women
started to succor Mr.. Hass. He was un-
conscious when they reached him. and with
difficulty they succeeded in getting him a
few rods farther toward shelter. But HasS
was a large, ieshy man, and the women
were compelled to abandon their efforts in
his behalf. Wrapping her exhausted hus-
band in blankets and giving him some nour-
ishment, his noble helpmate sat down be-
side him while her kind assistant started for
her home. Mrs. Hass remained with her
husband until he died, about s o'clock in
the morning. When help arrived at the
scene the unfortunate couple weA taken
home, one nearly as lifelesS as the other.
Mr.. Hass was nearly 70 years of age and
his faithful wife few years his junior.

GONE BUT NOT FOREVER.


Am Eccentric Man is Robbed of $4,000
Worth of Government Bonds-Nearly
All the Property Recovered.
New LONDON, Aug. BIB. F. Taylor, an
old man residing at Stafford, had eight thou
sand dollars worth of government bonds
stolen from him on Thursday last. While
he was absent from his home somebody
entered his house, which is poorly construct
ed, broke open his trunk and took therefrom
the bonds and $50 in cash. The house was
ransacked. and Taylor's clothing and other
things were made away with. 1t happened
that the old man on this day had gone to see
the sights at Camp Mantle. Yesterday
morning a man was observed to closely ex-
anime carpetbag on Stott's wharf, directly
opposite the stone works. The one who
saw the stranger was a Mr.. Potter. He
needed not the occurrence as of no special
Importance until he heard of the robbery.
MIR. Potter heard of the robbery this morn
ing and he made quick tracks for the
wharf. After a search he came out with all
the stolen clothing. A thorough search,
however, revealed slowed away ali the bonds
but 81 400 worth. The missing bonds are
obligations of western railroads. One is for
81 900 in Taylor's name and the other for
$500 in the name of his wife. The officers
who have the case in charge state that the
old gentleman was considerably excited when
the bonds were recovered and that it is pos
sible that while he spread them out on the
wharf the two missing ones may have blown
away. Mr.. Taylor is said to be reputable
gentleman in every respect and highly con-
nected, although very eccentric. No clue to
the thief has yet been discovered

New: and Important Rules Proposed
for Future Guidance.
New YORK, Aug. 29.-Every league club
was represented at the first meeting of the
Base Ball Players Brotherhood held at
Earle's Hotel to-day at the suggestion of
ex Captain John M. Ward of the New Yorkss
The players present were: Pfeiffer, Chicago
club; Erwin, Philadelphia club; Carroll,
Washington club; Hackett, Indianapolis
club; Hanlan, Detroit club; Ward and Keefe.
New York club; Dalrymple, Pittsburg club.
Hackett represented the Boston club. John
M. Ward of the New York club presided.
The meeting was called to consider the mat
ter of arranging new contract between the
players and the National league. A commit
tee was first appointed to draft resolutions
of coincidence with the family of the late
Al. McKinnon of the Pittsburg club and have
the same engrossed and presented to them.
The matter of contracts was fully
of the convention that new
form of contract is necessary with regard to
the ''reserve rule" Most of the delegates
thought it should stand with a few minor
changes. The question of buying and selling
was discussed and it was agreed that a clause
shoule be inserted in the new contract which
would provide that in all cases of release the
release should be unconditional. In the case
of the disbanding of club the players ought
to be released from all obligations. The
brotherhood resolved to assist the league
in breaking up dissipation among the play
ers and suggested as means to that
end that member should be fined for the
first offense $25, for the second $50, for the
third 500, and if the offender committed a
fourth ofense in season should be sus-
pended and liable to be blaeklisted.
Mess Hanlon, Erwin and Ward were ap-
pointed a committee by the convention to
carry out the views Of the brotherhood with
regard to the new contract. The committee
will ask the league to meet them in fair
way and agree upon new contract. Mr..
Ward stated afterward that he had no feal
but that the league would meet the commit
tee from the brotherhood.
